It distresses me, but too often I encounter people with entitlement attitudes. They express this in various ways, I work really hard, why don't I get the promotion? I put in a lot of effort on this proposal, why didn't I get the deal? I've worked for this company for years, why are they treating me this way? The list goes on, but generally the themes are focus on effort, longevity, loyalty, and often dwelling on past contributions, not current performance.
